This is truly insult to injury here.
While debating about the NBA on ESPN earlier this week, Richard Jefferson and Kendrick Perkins had quite the exchange.
As Jefferson tried to make a point, he began by saying, “We’re splitting hairs here …”
Perkins interrupted: “You’re not splitting hairs ever.” Then, of course, he started laughing so hard. Quite a way to roast someone with a shaved head.
But then, cameras caught Jefferson’s reaction, which was a very quick, very serious staredown, and that became a meme, which Jefferson also responded to. The whole thing is very hilarious and worth checking out:
Here's how it went down
Richard Jefferson: "Again, we're splitting hairs here."
Kendrick Perkins: "You're not splitting hairs ever."
😂💀
